London Boxwood and Ebony 3.5" Replica Chessmen
Own a masterfully crafted recreation of chess history with the 1850s London Boxwood and Ebony Replica Chessmen. This exquisite set faithfully mirrors the original Staunton 1849/50 design, capturing every curve, cut, and finish that defined the golden era of chess craftsmanship.
Each piece is meticulously hand-carved from genuine boxwood and ebony, then hand-polished to a smooth, premium finish. The 3.5-inch king stands with dignified stature, while every knight, rook, bishop, and pawn reflects the unmistakable Staunton silhouette — designed for clear distinction and superb handling.
Included with the set is a classic mahogany slide-lid box, echoing the vintage charm of 19th-century craftsmanship. To ensure its collectibility, the king’s base is stamped "1850 London", with additional stampings on the rooks and knights. All pieces rest on green felt bases with a lozenge pattern, protecting surfaces and enhancing grip.
This set is more than a playing companion — it’s a certified piece of chess history, ideal for display, competitive play, or as a cherished heirloom.
